Here we go again: is is market abuse or insider dealing at Roquefort? Will the FCA do anything?
Last time it was the fake bid for Superdry (SDRY) with an ADVFN (AFN) poster claiming he was an employee and had specific information. That was not true so it was not insider dealing but market abuse. Natch the FCA seems to have done nothing. So now here we go again.- By Tom Winnifrith |

If Zamboni’s Avantgarde has not sold any shares in Supply@ME Capital I am a Dutchman
For the avoidance of doubt I am not a Dutchman. But on the other hand Mr. Zamboni insists that his company has not sold any shares in the fraud Supply@Me Capital (SYME). Whatever you say boss.- By Tom Winnifrith |

Gelion – emphasises “key technology proof point” milestone achieved. Er, what about that update on “solvency/viability and long-term future”?
Gelion (GELN) has issued an announcement titled “Li-S Cell High Energy Density Milestone Achieved” and the shares have currently responded over 60% higher to 25p. However, that compares to above 24p at which they commenced this year and a 145p per share AIM listing towards the end of 2021. So attempted ramptastic or recovery value?…- By Steve Moore |

Cirata ( Wandisco as was) from $30m fund raise to material uncertainty and a warning in just nine months!
Way to go chaps. You can change the name, you can get rid of bosses who awarded themselves huge bonuses AFTER massive fraud emerged, but once a dog, always a dog. Just nine months after raising a bailout $30 million at 50p ( having had its shares suspended at c£13), Cirata (CRTA) has served up results, a piss poor trading statement and has had to flag up a material, uncertainty. Ouch.- By Tom Winnifrith |

Insig AI – “equity funding facility” agreement, though forget it enabling meaningful “investment into sales and marketing”?
“Data science and machine learning” company Insig AI (INSG) has announced “a £250,000 equity funding facility with Richard Bernstein, Executive Chairman”. Such an amount tends to mean it was cash crunch ahoy though, so what about the balance sheet and the shares currently at 17.5p in response?- By Steve Moore |

The curse of Swanny strikes again, bucket shop placing at Genflow, the company created by a penny share fraudster
Q. How do you create a small fortune? A. Start with a big one and invest in the worst shitcos on AIM and the Standard List. Yes, the curse of Jonathan Swann, highlighted many times on this website, strikes again. On March 21 he acquired a 3% stake in Genflow Biosciences (GENF) a company created by convicted penny share fraudster Ron Bauer in Delaware and whose CEO Eric Leire is also a colourful chap as I revealed here.- By Tom Winnifrith |

Skinbiotherapeutics – time to address the placing rumour
I was aware of no reason for shares in Skinbiotherapeutics (SBTX) spiked to 13.5p last week. I assumed it was some sort of dump ahead of a you know what. Well, with the shares coming all the way back, the rumour is that bearded loon Stuart Ashman is trying to do a placing: 10p vicar? The aim?- By Tom Winnifrith |

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Any company even suspected of round tripping is just not investable
In today's bearcast I start with three birthdays, odd ideological bedfellows, then turn to TrakM8 (TRAK), Red Rock Resources (RRR), Peel Hunt (PEEL) and Cavendish Financial (CAV) and finally Itaconix (ITX) which could halve and still not be cheap.- By Tom Winnifrith |

Topps Tiles – “First Half Trading Update” is a profit warning that dare not speak its name…
Previously writing on Topps Tiles (TPT), which describes itself as “the UK's leading tile specialist”, with the shares down to 46.8p in January I concluded that a reliance on improving market conditions and full-year pre-tax profit forecasts of £11.5 million+ looked challenging. With the shares most recently closing at 44p, what of now a “First Half Trading Update”?

Trakm8 Holdings: The Pig, The Pork and the debt at credit card rates
TrakM8 (TRAK) has reassured investors that the insurance issues which prompted its lack of profits warning for the year just ended have been resolved so it is now on track for a much better year. But it is helped in that respect by a new contract extension which my pal Evil Knievil would undoubtedly term “The pig and the pork.”- By Tom Winnifrith |

Shearwater – “FY24 Trading Update” is a material lack-of-profit warning after the year-end!
A “FY24 Trading Update” announcement from “cybersecurity, advisory and managed security services group” Shearwater (SWG) concludes with “it is important to note that nearly half of the Shearwater market valuation is represented by the £5 million of cash announced today. This attributes precious little value for what is a profitable company with a solid market position and growth opportunities, and one in which the board continues to see growth potential as we strive to improve returns”. However, emphasising such tends to mean its current ‘returns’ aren’t good and what of the shares currently more than 12% lower on the day at 43.5p?- By Steve Moore |

Letter to Roland “Fatty” Cornish: how can you allow this social media outrage and AIM Rule Breaking at Red Rock?
Companies on the AIM sewer are meant to disclose price sensitive information via an RNS verified by a Nomad as being true. It is for that reason that they cannot make wild claims not verified by a Nomad via social media. Yet Red Rock Resources (RRR), where I am a shareholder, and its paid consultant Mr. David Lenigas did just that yesterday as flagged up HERE. I have written to London’s worst Nomad, Roland “fatty” Cornish to ask if he has verified these tweets or he considers AIM Rules do not apply to his clients.- By Tom Winnifrith, the Sheriff of AIM |
